U.S. Representative, several aides shot during baseball practice

[WillBrink]

My apologies if this has been covered. I was in the field for a few days and had no internet interaction. The rifle used was definitely a 7.62, not sure if that has been put out yet. Information passed on from our security division involved in the investigation

I was confirmed as an SKS so I believe most made the leap to 7.62. Heard a talking head on the news say something like "it was a 7.62 rifle which uses a powerful bullet preferred by hunters" assuming they were confusing 7.62 x 39 for 51.

The whole thing stinks and in my opinion- he was another one of the Democrat's operatives of useful idiots.

Oh look, new evidence just surfaced- the shooter had a list of names to target, indicating this now a premeditated act.

They didn't need a list to have a premeditated act. I think "who's playing" and his social media comments covered everything.

[Todd.K]

Still want to know how he knew about the practice location. I didn't even know about the game.

CNN was covering the briefing by the FBI Chief.
They convienantly cut away from this when the list came up and the shooters politics were to be mentioned.
They went straight to some election Russia collusion stuff.
Love me some CNN denial.

The attack on the GOP baseball practice was not a political nature, it was a matter of anger management problem for one guy. Case close. Let's go back to find the Trump Russian connection.

Riiiiiiiiiight......Gotcha. Just like we can't dare say "Islamic Extremism." Had me going for a minute there. Thought you were serious.

This may come to a full head of steam about the time the Dem's decide to have another convention.
The Moderates will have to wrestle control away from the Progressive Socialists or they will become a footnote.
When that process happens they may regret the calls to violence as it may come back on them.

Gunman at Virginia ballfield kept local storage locker with ammunition

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...=.978e5ad290fe

"The gunman who opened fire on a GOP baseball team in Virginia had a local storage locker with more than 200 rounds of ammunition that he visited daily, including less than an hour before he shot more than 60 times at the team during a morning practice June 14."

That's just downright apocalyptic....

To most gun owners, 200 rounds is a lot, I'm totally serious. A friend and his wife have 3 handguns between them, and they have less than 100 rounds total. That's only because they have two different calibers, .38 and 9mm, and 50 round box of ball and round nose lead cartridges were cheaper than the 20 round premium ammo boxes. Another friend and wife have a shotgun, .38 and .44 mag. They also have less than 100 rounds and that's because I gave him 50 rounds of .44 mag reloads (softer than factory full house load) and I gave him about half a box of 12 gauge shells.

Please purge the hateful term "Islamic Extremism" from your mind. We are seeing Islamic Moderation in action.

I simply can't relate to people who buy ammo in less than case quantities. And I'm actually half-serious. But then it's been 20+ years since I put only $5 of gas in my car's tank when I stopped at a gas station.
